Our Christmas Day was super busy. The girls got a visit from Santa, we opened gifts from our family, went to Mimi and Papaws and opened more gifts, spent the day with LOTS of family eating and playing games, and then we came home and packed up for Arkansas. Whew...BUSY day!!!

Santa was under the impression that the girls had been good this year and he brought them this hot pink Escalade! He better check his sources. This car was for all 3 girls. I am sure that Santa also assumes that Paisley will get some use out of this car when she isn't scared for her life to get into it.

stockings

2 super happy girls! It is just what they asked for!

Nothing cuter than 3 cute girls riding around in a pink car!

This car even has its own radio and speakers!

My favorite picture from Christmas. Here is P opening up her stocking! She got some new hair clips and a toothbrush for her almost 4 teeth!

Jillian and her gifts

Jules and her gifts

Paisley and her gifts.

Poor P. She was not excited that we woke her up at 7:00 am.

She likes to sleep until 8:45 to 9:00!!!

Jillian got some new clothes

Jules got some new clothes

P got some wrapping paper...and loved it!

and tissue paper

I made the girls some new crocs

I love Jillian's face of pure excitement here!

And I always love this goofy face of my 3 1/2 year old!

P got some baby goldfish in her stocking and she LOVED them!

Daddy opening his stocking.

New undershirts!!!!

He must have been a very good boy this year!

The girls had to take her out for a spin in the yard.

Ready for Christmas dinner at Mimi and Papaws

And guess who decided to start crawling on Christmas Eve??? It is more of an army crawl than one on all fours. But she is about the cutest thing inching across the floor!

Papaw opening his gift from us

P LOVING her first Christmas dinner

YUM! YUM!

The little girls table

Jules singing her portion of the Christmas performance. Emmy was there too...just off to the side.

These two sang Jingle Bells.

Jillian got up and sang Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. This is a huge thing for Jillian because she is usually soooooo very shy! She is really breaking out of her shell lately. We were proud of her for singing in front of 15+ people!

Jillian and the groupies

Macy singing Silver Bells

Ansley singing and doing an incredible job! This girl is very talented.

And of course, the girls needed one more drive around the block to end their amazing Christmas!

This year on Christmas Eve, my family decided to get together for brunch instead of dinner. Summer hosted the whole family and we had a great time getting together for breakfast and presents. Since there are so many little girls and SOOOOO many presents for the little girls, we also decided the girls would all open presents on Christmas Eve. Then all the adults would open on Christmas Day. It was a great way to break up all the craziness of the gifts. So, on Christmas Eve, we ate at Summers and then let all the kiddos open their gifts. That night, our little family of 5 spent some time together opening pajamas and getting cookies and milk ready for Santa. We all had a really great time!

This is me giving Paisley a little help opening up her many gifts.

Paisley had a lot of help...as usual!

Papaw is the best! He REALLY hooked the girls up this year.

All 5 girls got an iTouch with their names on them. Lucky girls!!!!

Here are the girls at home getting ready to open their one Christmas Eve gift from their mommy and daddy.

Seth and I met during our Junior year at HardingUniversity and we became the best of friends before we actually started dating in 2001. We got engaged right after we graduated and were married on June 7, 2003. During these really fun and crazy years of marriage, we have been blessed with two precious daughters and one crazy Pug! We sure don't get out much anymore with having two small girls at home, but we really wouldn't have it any other way!!! We have a great time just being together as a family! Our little family of five is such a blessing to me and I look forward to all of the fun times that are sure to happen in our future!

Jillian Jane was born on June 22, 2006. She is our smart, energetic, dramatic, opinionated, and precious girl. She loves to play dress up, play with her Barbies, do any kind of artwork, and tell her little sister what to do. Her newest obsession is Paisley. Jillian wants to hold her ALL of the time and kiss on her little baby sister. She is slightly obsessed with anything Princess or girly and she loves taking gymnastics. Jillian is very into fashion and she always wants to make sure that everyone notices her outfit, bow, or fingernails. God truly blessed us when he gave us our sweet Jillian.

Jules Avery was born on April 22, 2008. She is a little firecracker that has everyone from her parents to her grandparents to her aunts & uncles to her teachers wrapped around her little finger! Jules is so full of happiness, and we truly enjoy watching her life and anticipating what she will say and do next. Jules’ favorite thing to do is color and she LOVES to copy every single thing that her big sister does and says. God has really blessed our lives with this precious girl.

Paisley Kate was born on February 24, 2011. She is just the sweetest and most precious baby. She already has our whole family wrapped around her tiny little finger. We are so happy to finally have our baby Paisley here to make our family complete. We are so excited to watch her grow and become like her big sisters one day. Again, God blessed us with another wonderful daughter in our family.
